Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a compact case capable of storing filled cosmetics in an airtight state,

The present invention relates to a compact case for cosmetics and, more particularly, to a compact case for cosmetics having a tray-type intermediate cover which is hinged to one side of the case and rotatable, in which cosmetic tools such as puffs are housed, .

Generally, in the field of cosmetics, a compact refers to a portable makeup tool, usually with a mirror attached thereto, which is filled in a case or minute.

Such a compact case generally has a space in which cosmetic contents such as compact, lip gloss, eye shadow and the like are filled, and a tray capable of accommodating a makeup tool such as a puff which can be put on the cosmetic contents, And a cover which is hinged to the case body and is opened and closed in a state that a mirror is provided on an inner bottom surface of the case body.

The cover, which is hinged to the compact case and rotates, holds the case body in a closed state while being engaged with a lock groove provided on a corresponding one side surface of the case body, And the push button is provided on the outer side surface of the lock ring so that when the user presses the lock button, the engagement state of the lock ring with the lock groove is released.

However, the closing / opening structure of such a compact case does not provide sufficient hermeticity for the space inside the case. That is, the above-mentioned compact case does not completely shut off the contents of the filled cosmetics from the outside.

The compact case is usually filled with cosmetic contents, such as cream, liquid, powder, etc., which vary in degree but contain water or volatile solvents. If the casing is not tightly sealed, moisture in the case Or volatile solvent evaporates and the contents of the cosmetic become hardened or denatured, so that the original quality can not be maintained.

In addition, even if the contents of cosmetics filled in the compact case are dry powders that do not contain moisture, the contents generally have an inherent fragrance. Unless the enclosure strength of the case is high, the fragrance is evaporated during prolonged use , Causing complaints of compact users.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the following description of the embodiments of the invention and the accompanying drawings, like reference numerals refer to like elements, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Of course, for the sake of convenience of explanation and understanding, the same constituent elements may also be assigned different numbers if necessary.

1 (a) and 1 (b) are perspective views each showing a closed state and an open state of a compact case having a structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross- FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a compact case of FIG. 1, in which a tray-type intermediate cover in which a puff is housed is opened to use the cosmetic contents. Respectively. As shown in Fig.

1 to 3, a compact case 100 of a structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a tray-type intermediate cover in a multi-layer structure, and a bracket provided at one side of the upper surface of the main body 150 is hinged The first intermediate cover 130 is opened in a direction orthogonal to the cover 110 while the connected cover 110 is opened and then the cosmetic contents filled in the storage space 141 of the second intermediate cover 140 Alternatively, the second intermediate cover 140 may be opened to use other contents of cosmetics filled in the inner space (not shown) of the main body 150.

The first and second intermediate covers 130 and 140 are hinged to each other in parallel on the same bracket 21 so that the first and second intermediate covers 130 and 140 can rotate independently from each other with respect to an axis connected to the bracket.

A mirror 111 protrudes from the inner bottom surface of the cover 110 in the form of a ring. A mirror 117 is provided on the inside of the cover 110 and a ring 117 Shaped packing member 116 is attached. The diameter of the tip 111 and the inner diameter of the packing member 116 are formed to be shorter than the inner diameter of the rim 131 at the upper end of the first intermediate cover 130. When the cover 110 is closed, The upper edge 131 of the first intermediate cover 130 comes into contact with the packing member 116.

The packing member 116 is made of an elastic material and has a sufficient thickness to contact the upper edge 131 before the lower edge of the cover 110 and the upper end of the main body 150 contact each other.

The compact case 100 of the structure shown in Figs. 1 to 3 is merely a simple example for illustrating only the principle and concept of the present invention, and the principle or technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the case Regardless of the number of intermediate covers formed, which will be apparent in the description of the embodiments below.

The compact case 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 further comprises a ring-shaped pressure locker 120 of a predetermined thickness, which is rotatably mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the cover 110. The pressure locker 120 has such a height as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the main body 150 when the cover 110 is closed. When the cover 110 is rotated in one direction in a state where the cover 110 is closed, the cover 110 is pressed against the main body 150 to increase the sealing force. When the cover 110 is rotated in the opposite direction The cover is released from the locked state and the compressed state is released.

Hereinafter, the configuration and effect of the compact case 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can increase the sealing force with respect to the cosmetic contents, will be described in detail.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the pressure locker 120 has locking projections 121 formed at equal intervals from each other at the lower end of the inner circumferential surface, and a ring- Respectively. The ring-shaped protrusion 122 is formed with a guide protrusion 123 protruding slightly higher than the ring-shaped protrusion 122 corresponding to each circumferential position where the locking protrusion 121 is located.

1 and 2, the presser locker 120 having the above structure is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the cover 110. In order to engage the presser locker 120, 110, and a fastening groove 112 formed along the periphery of the outer circumferential surface of the cover 110 is provided. With such a corresponding structure, the pressure locker 120 is inserted while inserting the cover 110, and the ring-shaped protrusion 122 is engaged with the cover 110 by being seated in the locking groove 112 .

Since the upper and lower widths of the ring groove 112 are sufficiently larger than the upper and lower widths of the ring-shaped protrusion 122, the pressing locker 120 can be moved in the limited range of the ring- And can freely move up and down on the outer circumferential surface of the cover 110.

The guide grooves 112 are formed with guide thin plates 113 each having a pair of barriers of a predetermined thickness forming inclined steps inclined downward and upward, Are formed at equal intervals from one another.

The guide thin plate 113 has a thickness smaller than (preferably, 1/2) the depth of the groove 112 and the ring-shaped protrusion 122 of the pressure locker 120 has a predetermined clearance, (113). ≪ / RTI > The guide protrusions 123 protrude to a height close to the bottom surface of the groove 112 and each guide protrusion 123 protrudes from the inner space 113a of the guide thin plate 113 And the pressure locker 120 is fitted to the cover 110 so that the pressure locker 120 is positioned to be positioned at a short interval on the ring groove 112 defined by the pair of barriers.

The ring-shaped protrusion 122 is constrained to the locking groove 112 so that the pressing locker 120 is not detached from the cover 110 unless an artificial force is applied, The guide protrusion 123 is restrained by the guide thin plate 113 in its inner space 113a (hereinafter referred to as a "seating space"), whereby the clockwise / counterclockwise rotation amount of the pressure locker 120 Is limited.

The engaging groove 112 is formed in such a manner that the engaging protrusion 121 at the lower end of the inner surface of the pressing locker 120 covers the upper portion of the main body 150 to some extent when the pressing locker 120 is engaged. Respectively. A barrier (a left side barrier in the drawing) forming an inclined step toward the downward direction of the respective guide thin plates 113 of the cover 110 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the main body 150, Quot; barrier ", and the other barrier forming an upwardly inclined stepped pair is called an " unlocking barrier ". } And the guiding stoppers 151 at the same position on the circumference.

4 is a view showing in more detail the arrangement relationship between the locking barrier 113b of the guide thin plate 113 and the upper and lower portions of the guiding stopper 151 and the structure thereof, Sections 13a and 15a, sections with horizontal steps 13b and 15b, and barrier walls 13c and 15c with vertical steps are formed. The locking barrier 113b and the guiding stopper 151 are preferably formed on the cover 110 and the main body 150 such that the blocking walls 13c and 15c are aligned with each other.

When the cover 110 is closed with a slight gap from the main body 150 due to the structure as described above, the locking protrusion 121 of the pressure locker 120 is locked by the guiding stopper 151 The height 15d occupied by the section 15a (hereinafter, referred to as a 'press section') where the inclined step of the inclined step is present.

Therefore, when the user rotates the pressure locker 120 clockwise when viewed from the upper portion of the case, the locking protrusion 121 comes into contact with the inclined step of the guiding stopper 151, And gradually descends with respect to the main body 150 while traveling along the inclined step. The upper guide protrusion 123 located in the seating space 113a also descends along the inclined step of the locking barrier 113b during the travel of the pressing section 15a of the locking protrusion 121. [ That is, the pressure locker 120 is lowered relative to the main body 150.

However, the lower end 122a of the ring-shaped protrusion 122 first contacts the lower end 112a of the coupling groove 112 as the above-described descent progresses. Thereafter, the pressure locker 120 descends while pulling the cover 110 downward.

When the cover 110 is lowered in this way, the hinge portion 115 is gradually rotated about the axis 153 of the side of the main body 150 to which the hinge portion 115 is connected. As illustrated in FIG. 5, The packing member 116 mounted on the bottom surface first contacts the upper edge 131 of the first intermediate cover 130. In this state, when the pressure locker 120 is further rotated, the upper edge 131 compresses the packing member 116, and at the same time, the lower end 114 of the cover 110 presses the main body 150 and then pressurized.

The locking protrusion 121 of the pressure locker 120 completes the travel in the pressing section 15a of the guiding stopper 151 and the section 15b having the horizontal step Hereinafter referred to as a " lock interval "). When the forward end of the locking protrusion 121 touches the blocking wall 15c of the guiding stopper 151, the user presses the locking locker 120 of the pressure locker 120, The operation is terminated.

The lower end 114 of the cover and the upper end edge 152 of the main body 150 are brought into close contact with each other by strong pressure so that the inner space opened to the upper portion of the case 100 is blocked from the outside So that the sealed state of the case is maintained.

In addition, in the locked state as described above, the packing member 116 pushes the first intermediate cover 130 relatively to the cover 110 by the elastic force of the packing member 116, 140 and the body 150 in order.

The upper step 15b-1 of the section 15b is in contact with the upper end surface of the latching protrusion 121 so as to engage with the upper end of the latching protrusion 121, (150) can not be separated from the pressure locker (120) at all. Therefore, the restoring force of the packing member 116 due to the compression is transmitted between the first intermediate cover 130 and the second intermediate cover 140, and between the second intermediate cover 140 and the main body 150 As shown in Fig.

By such an adhesive force, the inner storage space of the first intermediate cover 130, which is opened by the packing member 116 and is opened upward, as well as the inner storage space of the first intermediate cover 130, The airtightness of the accommodating space 141 of the second intermediate cover 140 and the internal space opened to the upper portion of the main body 150 serving as the cover of the second intermediate cover 140 is improved.

The first intermediate cover 130 and the second intermediate cover 140 are in close contact with each other and the second intermediate cover 140 and the main body 150 are in close contact with each other The sealing member may be attached or attached to a portion where the cosmetics contents are filled.

Meanwhile, in an embodiment according to the present invention, the guiding stopper 151 may be configured such that the locking section 15b is relatively shorter than the pressing section 15a, for example, within 20% of the pressing section, 3 mm or a path length of 5 mm or less. When the path of the lock section 15b is long, when the user rotates the pressure locker 120 in the reverse direction to release the lock state, the user feels a lot of resistance. That is, when the user releases the lock state, the user can feel that the user is not released smoothly.

Therefore, by making the length of the lock section 15b relatively short, the unlocking can be performed smoothly. When the locked state is released by rotating the pressure locker 120 in the reverse direction, the locking protrusion 121 is moved out of the confining area of the guiding stopper 151, and at the same time, the guide protrusion 123 is moved above the unlocking barrier So that the pressure locker 120 is raised.

According to the embodiment described above, even if the locking section 15b, that is, the section in which the latching protrusion 121 is inserted is formed to have a short length, the cover 110 is pressed against the main body 150 The locked state of the pressure locker 120 is fully ensured unless an artificial force is applied. This is because the restoring force of the pinched packing member 116 pushes the main body 150 through the intermediate cover and the urging force acts on the upper stepped surface 15b- And tightly adheres to the upper end of the latching protrusion 121 fitted in the engaging projection 15b.

On the other hand, the cover 110 is formed on one side of the main body 150 on the hinge shaft 153 of the protrusions protruding opposite to each other in the concave-shaped fastening space secured by cutting a part of the main body, The hinge portion 115 protruded further downward than the lower rim 114 is fastened so that the case is opened or closed while pivoting with respect to the hinge shaft 153. [

Fig. 6 is a view showing in more detail the structure related to such hinge engagement and rotation for opening and closing the cover. As shown in the figure, the hinge part 115 includes a support base 12 protruding from the lower end of the cover 110, and a cylindrical pivot 11 formed horizontally at the end of the support base . A receiving groove 13 into which a pair of hinge shafts 153 can be inserted is formed at both ends of the rotary shaft 11. A predetermined section of the center is cut to a predetermined depth, The contact protrusions 11a extending in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the pivoting orifices are rotated are formed to protrude at regular intervals in parallel with each other.

The fastening plate of the main body 150, to which the hinge unit 115 is coupled, is provided with a thrust plate 154 protruding from the circumferential surface in a gently curved shape at the leading end thereof. Braking tangs 154a extending to both ends of the braking plate in a direction perpendicular to the projecting direction are formed on the bottom surface of the braking plate 154 so as to protrude at regular intervals.

When the hinge portion 115 is fastened to the hinge shaft 153, the bottom plate of the swing plate 154 is connected to the main body 150 When the cover 110 is rotated about the hinge shaft 153, the contact protrusions 11a of the turning orifice are rotated by pushing the bottom surface of the swash plate 154 do.

The swash plate 154 has a reinforcing bar 154b formed between its tip and the outer circumferential surface of the main body 150 to prevent the swash plate 154 from being bent on the upper surface thereof, (154) itself is not warped or pushed, but the pushing force is absorbed by the elastic force of the material of the rotary joint and the brake plate. That is, since the contact protrusions 11a are pressed on the bottom surface of the swash plate 154 and the pivoting opening 11 is rotated, due to the frictional force caused by the pressing, It is possible to maintain its position at the position. Accordingly, when the user rotates the cover 110 at a preferred angle and is fixed at that angle, the user can use the cosmetic contents in the case while viewing the mirror 117 on the bottom surface thereof.

However, when the compact case 100 is frequently used, the contact protrusions 11a are worn or the elastic force is lowered, so that the friction force may slip without fixing the cover 110 at the rotating position. The braking jaws 154a formed on the bottom surface of the swash plate 154 prevent such a slip phenomenon that may occur due to a long period of use.

Even if the close contact protrusions 11a are reduced in adhesion to the bottom surface of the swash plate 154 due to repetitive friction, when the braking protrusions 154a protruding from the bottom surface are crossed, A sufficient frictional force is provided to prevent the free rotation of the cover 110 (rotation of the cover 110 due to its own load without applying an artificial force of the user).

Therefore, the frequency of use of the compact case, that is, the use period of the cosmetic case 100, in which the cover 110 provided with the mirror 117 can be set at a desired pivot position is remarkably increased.

Various embodiments of the compact case in which the filled cosmetic product can be stored in a hermetically sealed state according to the present invention and the structure and operation described in the embodiment are not mutually compatible, As shown in FIG.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Modification, substitution, addition, or the like.
